Lebanon Fossil Shrimp
Carpopenaeus Fossil Shrimp – Rare Fossil Crustaceans for Collectors
Step Into the Ancient Ocean
Imagine traveling back almost 95 million years ago to a time when Lebanon had such warm, shallow seas that were filled with activity. Swimming among the corals and soft bottoms were elegant Carpopenaeus shrimp – slender, quick, and never suspecting that their short existence would become encapsulated in rock.
These movements of the past, today, have been restored with perfection in the Carpopenaeus fossil shrimp. Every fossil from this series contains the canvas of the ancient seas, which is an important factor in evolution for many living organisms.
A Moment Frozen in Stone
Our authentic shrimp fossils reveal extraordinary anatomical precision — from fine antennae to segmented tails. The soft-bodied Carpopenaeus, which would normally decay within hours, was instead sealed by fine-grained limestone, preserving its structure in astonishing detail.
These fossils are not just remnants — they are artistic imprints of time itself, giving scientists and collectors an intimate look into the life of a vanished species.

Sourced from the world-renowned Hjoula and Haqel formations of Lebanon, every fossil has been meticulously extracted and cleaned to retain its natural form. At Fossil Age Minerals, authenticity and integrity come first — every Carpopenaeus fossil shrimp for sale is genuine, responsibly sourced, and professionally prepared for display or research.
